Why it matters
Why Dental Emergencies Require Immediate Professional Care
A dental emergency is not a situation you can safely wait out. Severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost restorations, and dental abscesses can escalate from manageable discomfort to serious oral health crises — sometimes within hours. The longer bacterial activity goes untreated, the greater the risk of infection spreading beyond the tooth and into the surrounding periodontal tissue or the jaw.
At Family Dental Center of Connecticut, Dr. Kasabji and Dr. Engelhardt reserve same-day appointments for patients experiencing acute dental pain or trauma. Early clinical intervention can mean the difference between saving a natural tooth and requiring a full extraction — and between a simple filling and a complex restorative procedure.
Severe Toothache
Evaluated for infection, abscess, or pulp involvement using digital X-rays
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Assessed for enamel and dentin exposure; treated promptly to prevent nerve damage
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion)
Time-critical — reimplantation is most successful within 30–60 minutes
Lost Crown or Filling
Temporary restoration placed same day to protect underlying tooth structure
Dental Abscess
Diagnosed and treated to prevent systemic spread of oral infection
Soft Tissue Injuries
Gum and oral tissue lacerations evaluated for immediate care

Why we provide emergency dental care
We provide emergency dental care to ensure that patients can get the help they need right away. If you leave a damaged or infected tooth alone, you will risk the infection spreading.
Why should I visit you for emergency dental care instead of going to the ER?
While the physicians at the emergency room are skilled at treating health emergencies, they are not familiar with dental care.
They can triage any problem that you have by helping to stop the bleeding, but they will not be able to restore a damaged tooth. Likewise, if you visit an emergency room due to dental pain, they can provide you with pain relief but cannot find out what is causing the pain and work to solve it. This is why you need to visit the dentist instead.
Remember that even if you go to the emergency room, you will likely still need to visit the dentist. Visit us for emergency dental care instead to save yourself the extra pain, time and money.
What types of procedures does an emergency dentist perform?
At Family Dental Center of Connecticut, our team provides the same type of services that you can receive during a traditional dental visit. The two most common issues that we address during emergency dental visits are:
